City still have the Everton away fixture which could undo them.

Chelsea will be kicking themselves over some of the unexpected results they've had in the the last month or two. That 2 points over 2 games is a lot. I don't think they can win the league but I do have a feeling that they may sneak the European Cup. Could see Arsenal out of the CL next year.

It's certainly interesting..... I would have preferred it less interesting I must admit.

I think your lot will do it. They might have to put 8 past the Toon in the last match, but that shouldn't be a problem given the way we've fallen apart since flogging Cabaye and pissing off Ben Arfa.

Yeah.

I prefer finals where the teams are from different countries.

All that being said I'm glad Chelski are out.

Not to be rude or pedantic but that’s pretty funny really as there are actually two different teams in Madrid. Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid both of whom are playing in the Champions League final this year. It’s like in Manchester, people always think of Manchester United but there two major teams, Manchester Untied and Manchester City. Its the same in London with, Tottenham Hotspurs and Chelsea. But anyway it should be a good game. :thumbup:

Ahem. I think I knew that.

It's the very first time that two teams from the same city have been in the Big Final.

Better IMHO for it to be Madrid rather than London or, God forbid, Manchester.

There's only one big team in Newcastle right? Is there a smaller one in the city like in London with Layton Orient?

Leyton Orient. But yes and no. Just across the Tyne there's a club in Gateshead who are climbing slowly towards League 2.

Other than that there's only S*******d nearby.

The only thing I have against Pardew is that he's proved unable to deal sensibly with Hatem Ben Arfa, clearly the most skilled player in the squad. I'm even prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt on that one because Ben Arfa can be a bit selfish and refuses to contribute defensively when needed.

My issue is with Ashley.

I couldn't care less about city but if the, erm, Liverpool had won you'd never hear the last of it, how brilliant they were, that they're the best fans, blah blah naffing blah. They're nauseating when they're rubbish, they'd be indescribable if they won. :thumbdown:

I agree. Its been awful listening to them carping on the last few weeks. Would ruin the whole summer if we had to listen to them naffing going on about their glorious run in,brill Brendon, king Kenny,twenty titles, etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc

Plus, you probably empathize with them as this was the biggest title capitulation since Newcastle did it in the 90s. :p

Liverpool's frailties showed through in the end.

I thought it was a certainty after they beat City but their weak defense returned to haunt them in the end.

They should be delighted with Champions League. They'll be seeded low so it will make for an interesting group which is rare.

Sadly we are due for a spell of City-Chelsea dominance and rivalry in the english game. An era of vast money laundering.

I would say Leeds United and the old first division.

Manchester United used to win the league within their means. You could argue they don't know with the Glazier debt.

Tottenham, Arsenal and Everton all self sufficient clubs.

Not sure I agree with Leeds, transfers in prior to that title win.

John Lukic £1,000,000†1990
Gary McAllister £1,000,000 1990

Rod Wallace - Southampton, £1,600,000, 1991â€
Tony Dorigo - Chelsea, £1,300,000, 1991
Steve Hodge - Nottingham Forest, £900,000, 1991
Eric Cantona - France Nîmes, £900,000, 1992[2]

Decent amount of money for the time?

Also makes one realise how ridiculous football inflation has been in the last 24 years.
